CAREER: Human-AI Collaboration to Debug Analog Circuits
CAREER: Human-AI Collaboration to Debug Analog Circuits
Analog circuit debugging is a daunting task today due to manual search and heavy reliance on experience. Generative Artificial intelligence can be a game-changer. This project seeks to explore how human-AI collaboration can automate analog post-silicon debugging. (Award #: 2543901)
A Debugging and Debugging Education Workshop for High School STEM Teachers
A Debugging and Debugging Education Workshop for High School STEM Teachers
I gave a half-day workshop during our 2026 NSF RET camp in July 2026. The slides are available on the Open Science Framework (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/MGB4H).
Key messages in the lecture:
Humans go through structured yet different phases of cognitive tasks during debugging
Different phases require different skills and knowledge
Shared one evidence-based practice backed by research
The hands-on experiment via Perplexity Space or Gemini notebook is also available at OSF at DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/JBU3Y.

An Individual Investigator Development Plan to Improve Undergraduate Debugging Skills and Mindset
An Individual Investigator Development Plan to Improve Undergraduate Debugging Skills and Mindset
Debugging is an extremely important skill in the semiconductor industry. However, such an important skill is rarely taught in college. This project seeks to explore how to teach microelectronics debugging in college. (Award #: 2321255)
Debugging Semiconductor is a Billion Dollar Skill. How should we teach it?
Debugging Semiconductor is a Billion Dollar Skill. How should we teach it?
I gave a two-minute lightning talk at NSF ECR PI meeting in May 2024. The poster for my talk is available on Open Science Framework, DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/94RGP
Semiconductor industry is on track to be a $1 Trillion dollar industry by 2030
A typical semiconductor project spends between 35% to 50% on debugging (Schedule Killer!)
How to teach debugging is a truly multi-billion dollar question for Electrical Engineering (EE) Education
A full paper on this challenge was published in ASEE 2024. [ASEE PEER]
